Marriage and the Campaign

Mark Silk

Here’s Mike Huckabee’s response to the California decision. It’s less than a summons to arms. But there are those who will issue them. California presumably will have a gay marriage ban on its ballot in November. Where else is this possible?
Wikipedia has a useful review of all state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage in one way or another. The swing states (interpreted broadly) that have not taken action are: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Minnesota, Iowa, New Mexico, and Washington. An amendment will be on the ballot in Florida in November. Here’s the AP roundup.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
